A simple blood test may be the answer to CTE issues for footballers. The fact that football players started wearing helmets around a century ago means people have been aware of the downsides that come with playing the sport for a very long time.
The NFL’s and NCAA’s approach to diagnosing concussions currently leaves a lot to be desired, but that may no longer be the case in the near future now that the FDA has given a revolutionary new blood test its seal of approval.
While people back then could be forgiven for not being intimately familiar with the potential ramifications of succumbing to a concussion, you may not know protective headwear was actually introduced around the same time the medical community started researching what was known as “punch-drunk syndrome,” a condition associated with boxers that people nowadays refer to as CTE.
